the special purpose of congratulating
those of our fellow citizens who may
hereafter rise to distinction. 1t may
be said North Carolina is awaking to
a glorious prosperity in every depart
ment of her political and material in
terest. and in common with this prog
ress, the editor of this paper has at
tempted in a few brief sketches to
place before our readers, some of the
representative young men of the State.
Young men whose talents and labors
point them as destined to play con-
spicuous part in the political history
of the country.
Furnifold M. Simmons is a native
of the county of Jones, and was born
on the 2Sth day of January, 1854
His father, F. g. Simmons was for
many years prominent in the affairs
of his county; he was three times
elected to the General Assembly, prior
to the breaking out of the war, and
faithfully and honorably represented
hi county in the Constitution Con-
vention of 1866. From his fathers
af1uence the son was literally educat
ed in the schools of the State, and was
graduated with honors at Trinity Col
lege in 1873. Immediately after leav-
ing college, Mr.. Simmons began the
study of the law at New Berne, in the
office of A. G. Hubbard, Esq, an ac-
complished scholar and able lawyer.
He was licensed by the Supreme
Court in 1875, and in the practice of
his profession, rose rapidly to the
front rank. Having formed part
nership with M. E. Manly & Son in
1880, after the death of Judge Man
ly, he continued his profession with
Clement Manly, Esq, who is his pres
ent partner in al extensive practice
in Craven and surrounding counties.
Perhaps no young man in the State
has walked with more certain steps to
a distinguished reputation in this la
borious and exalting field-within the
same allotted time, and his success at
the bar especially portrays the natur-
al character of the man and traits OF
mind, and certainly but illustrates his
strong and logical powers. In intel
lect, Mr.. Simmons is essentially a
builder, constructing carefully as he
progresses, with full assurance of the
frmness of each antecedent step.
During the entire administration Of
Gov. Jarvis, Mr.. Simmons held the
States Proxy in the A. & N. G. r. r.
There were many troubles and diff
cult situations confronting the man
agement OF the road during this time,
and his skillful and intelligent admin

VANCE COUNTY, n. G. Jan. 25.-
Our biennial rose bud is in full bloom
at Raleigh, so we hear, but it is said
she does not emit as sweet an odor as
two years ago, in fact it is said, that
some Of the branches are little de-
cayed and yet other branches have
taken on wild shoots and scents; so
that the aroma is little mixed, thus
the original rose fragrance is slightly
contaminated by the conjuncture the
tunkey as well as the funkey are wild
or spurious scents, giving rather an
unsavory smell,to the whole concoction.
We hope the people two years hence
will lop off the rotten branches and
prune we'll the wild shoots and restore
the rose bush to its former purity and
sweetness.
We are opposed to any wildcat legis-
lation down this way, we are eminent
ly conservative, we see that the only
| salvation for this country is in the
preservation of the present statuns quo
so far as governmental affairs are con-
cerned, let them repeal our present
county government system and the nc
fence law and you will see disorder
take the place of order and our peo-
pie who are just recovering from the
baneful effects of the war period and
its subsequent legislation will be truly
disheartened by this relapse; and you
know a relapse is frequently worse
| than the original disease. /. e. S.

The subject of this sketch, the rep
resentative elect from the Second Dis
trict of North Carolina to the Fiftieth
Congress, is a young man whose efforts
and success suggest public comment
and applause In a distinguished
grafton Of an eminent member of the
Fayetteville bar on the character of
Judge CASTOR, the Speaker said: 81
believe no civilized people under the
sun is so sparing of praise, either to
the living or dead as the people of
North Carolina" This is so true, so
proverbially true, we are tempted to
think it might have been codified in
the first edition of the Revised Stat
utes as law. Such was the fate of
those whose lives are of the bygone
days and it remain, with US, whether
we shall still with hold the mead of
true praise from meritorious conduct.
We, here, call attention to this sin
gular characteristic OF our people for

istration of the States vote was high
ly commended, winning the thanks of
the Governor. Mr.. Simmons early
entered the field of politics, running
against Jacob F. Scott, of Missippi, in
the memorable campaign of 1875.
Though only forty-one, he won the
favor of the people, in a contest with
the warmast of adversaries and most
aggressive of stump speakers. In ev-
cry campaign since this time although,
not candidate he has taken an ac-
tive part, fighting valiantly for the
Democratic cause. His nomination
for Congress in the Second District
was demanded by his friends in the
late convention and generously con-
ceded by other aspirants. The can
vass made was skillful, brilliant and
successful and partly won for Mr..
Simmons place among the foremost
political speakers of the State.
We are proud the name of F. M

Henry George q Free Trader.
From the Boston Transcript.

Here follows little epistle from Mr..
George to a Connecticut friend which
is worthy of being placed on record i:
New YORK, Oct. II, 'S6.-I am a
free trader, pure and absolute, and re-
gard protection as a fraud on Work
ingmen. IF [ were a citizen of Con-
necticut I would sign your circular or
do anything 1 could to show the work
ers how they are humbugged by tar
iff which, while protecting favored
capitalists and land owners, leaves
them free to grind the faces of their
employees. Yours truly,
HENRY GEORGE.

Simmons in the roll of political lead
ers, for such he is, and destined to take
high rank. The State needs his serv-
ices and he has generously given them
to her. Talents Of the highest order,
industry and perseverance and withal
the truest moral worth are the strik-
ing characteristics which Mr.. Sim
mons possesses, and which made him
strong and useful man.
Missing Newspaper Mail.
From the Chicago Herald.
1t is the duty and it ought to be
the pleasure of the postal authorities to
give the same attention to newspaper as
to letter mail, but it is unfortunately
the fact thrt the failure to do so is con-
spicuous and annoying. A feeling ap-
pears to have grown up among postal
employees that newspaper mail is of
very little consequence, and the result
is that in the same proportion as they
are careful of letters they are careless
of newspapers. Yet the newpaper is
often handy substitute for a letter,
and its contents are apt to be quite as
important. The delinquency in this
regard is not new. Habitual neglect
of second class matter, excused per-
! haps on the ground OF the assumed
prior Importance of first class matter,
| has been the rule. The situation calls
] for the serious consideration of the
Postmaster General, who ought to Sc
! cure complete reform in this impor-
| tant particular

There are several Democratic pa

they will be compelled to bolt next

to be renominated. IF they are not
sincere they are preparing to eat a

Dull I'm Rcn, Estate Circles.

Business In real estate circles is phenom-
eDally dull. The proof OF this can best be
illustrated by the small number of trans
actions placed on file at the Recorder OF
Deeds office. Saturday last was the dullest
day in the history Of that branch of the city
government, for only sixteen instruments
were placed on record.
Up to 9 o'clock this afternoon only seven
actual real estate transfers were recorded,
embracing sums amounting to total OF
$13,s25.

There was man OF knowledge, deep, com

This man so staid. be knew maid, demure,
afraid aud half dismayed, shy as the
nymph Of ancient myths sequestered In
some sylvan shade.
This maid so rare with golden hair and
modest air, so debonair, she charmed
this man Of learned lore and caught him
in her wltching snare.
This man OF thought and learned lore, bis
hair he tore, and o'er aud DER he loudly
swore that he would cherish her for aye
and he would love her evermore.
Now they are wed in his library hooks his
knees he CROOKS and sees his wife so sell

Some weeks ago, when George NJ. Kent
formerly assistant pressman on the Post
was called West suddenly in response to a
summons from the Orphans Court, some
malicious persons started a rumor that he
had forsaken the city with an unworthy pur-
pose. The story was false and unjust to the
young man, who returned upon hearing It,
His marriage with Miss Flora Mausa,
daughter of DR.. Mauss OF this city, was
thereupon hastened that he might return at
once to the West. The wedding occurred
at the residence OF the BRIDES aunt, No. GO
Monroe street, New York city, on last
Thursday evening. The young people are
well known here aud are highly esteemed.
